I must be dense but I'm not certain as to the significance of the tear bottles. I'm guessing the bottles are filled with people's collected tears, but beyond that I'm missing the greater theme. Is she selling bottles of tears so that people will be more empathetic? Are they her own tears? I really want to know! But whatever the theme, the image is so lovely!

Art is escapism. With the New And Improved Crisis 2.0 in progress even more so. I wonder how many people make deviations to wind down after a day of job seeking, or to keep themselves busy after cutting all other expenses?
